Chapter 1189, Earning the Respect of the Giant Dragons

Translator: Silavin

This change in power was not reflected only in Lu Fan.

Correspondingly, the Two Headed Dragon and the Flame Dragon could both feel their own power rise.

It was as though Lu Fan, to them, was a weapon, and merely acquiring it caused their power to soar.

And furthermore, this was merely the change brought about by the three parties signing a contract with one another.

Once Lu Fan used his Dragon Tamer Skills on these Giant Dragons, or had Xiao Cui release her Support Dragon Language Magic on them, their power would increase by even more.

Feeling that a mere contract with Lu Fan could already yield so many benefits, both Giant Dragons were thoroughly astonished.

The Flame Dragon was particularly blunt about it, saying, “So this is the power of the bond between a Dragon Tamer and a Giant Dragon? I feel as though I have grown even more powerful.”

The Two Headed Dragon nodded, expressing deep agreement with this sentiment, and smiled. “Not long ago you were telling me that you simply could not understand why any Giant Dragon would sign a contract with a Human being and do something so self-demeaning, so damaging to the dignity of us Dragons. And now here you are, uttering words of joy. It is difficult to imagine that you, who were privately speaking ill of Dragon Tamers not so long ago, would come to acknowledge the greatness of a Dragon Tamer.”

Upon hearing this, the Flame Dragon’s face immediately displayed an expression of awkward embarrassment, one that even Lu Fan could read clearly.

He seemed rather resentful that the Two Headed Dragon had spoken of his past doubts about Lu Fan right in front of him, leaving him with absolutely no way to save face.

Lu Fan felt it was a small matter and laughed, smoothing things over for the Flame Dragon. “Never mind, Giant Dragons are proud by nature. Looking down on Humans is entirely understandable. So long as you and I can get along harmoniously on Shadow Isle from here on and regard one another as friends, that is all that matters.”

The Flame Dragon let out a breath of relief, then said with some embarrassment, “In truth, back in the day, I truly did look down on Humans. But you can rest easy, Brother Lu. Over this period of time, I have completely let go of that notion. The Valley of Life was seized by that so-called Ancient God. We had no home to return to. It was you who stepped forward and gave us a place like this to call home. Moreover, we deeply admire your strength. Also, you have been sincere in how you deal with us Giant Dragons. So, I have come to realise how wrong my thinking had been, to look down on Humans as I once did. You, Lu Fan, will be the eternal friend of us Giant Dragons!”

Lu Fan was genuinely a little surprised that the Flame Dragon could be so sincere.

After all, among all the Giant Dragons residing on Shadow Isle, the Flame Dragon had the most explosive temperament. His prejudice against Humans had also once run the deepest of all.

And yet, even he was capable of saying such words now. This was enough evidence that he had truly set aside that prejudice and genuinely, wholeheartedly came to feel that Humans were not creatures of any lesser standing than Giant Dragons.

“Heh, that’s right. Whatever others may take you Giant Dragons for, I naturally regard you all as friends,” Lu Fan said with a smile. “After all, I have many Giant Dragons by my side, and I have always treated them as Family.”

At this juncture, the Two Headed Dragon said, “Right. In any case, the relationship between a Dragon Tamer and a Giant Dragon is one of mutual support by its very nature. We are friends, that is absolutely certain.”

“Brother Lu, on this journey to the Dragon Domain, feel free to use us as your main source of strength. Whatever dangers arise, let the two of us take the vanguard. Your Pet Dragons are all our Younger Brothers and Sisters, and they have not yet fully grown. They cannot bring out the full power of what us Giant Dragons can show. Moreover, they are Dragon Kings. Their future potential far surpasses the two of us by an enormous margin. Should they grow to the Eternal Phase, they will inevitably become the leading figures among us Giant Dragons, and be the primary force driving the Giant Dragons to ever greater strength.”

“Were they to fall in battle, it would be an immense loss to the Dragon Race. Therefore, should any danger arise, I ask that you allow the two of us to go first. To be candid, in coming with you to the Dragon Domain this time, we have already prepared ourselves for the possibility of death.”

Beside him, the Flame Dragon also nodded in deep agreement. At the same time, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes as he continued, “Moreover, the Valley of Life was once such a harmonious and blessed place. It was the arrival of that so-called, worthless Desolate Ancient God that brought the entire Valley of Life to ruin.”

“All our Brothers and Sisters died at its hands. We will absolutely settle that account with it! Even if we are no match for it, we will still tear chunks out of it with our teeth and let it know the might of us Giant Dragons!”

In his furious rage, the flames upon the Flame Dragon’s body blazed outward like weeping fire, transforming into Dragon Pressure that swept across the surroundings, so that Monsters across half of Shadow Isle could sense it. Every single one of them trembled with fright.

Even suppressing the Undead Monsters on Shadow Isle… this was something only the Dragon Pressure of a Giant Dragon was capable of.

Although the Flame Dragon was not a Dragon King, as a fully grown Giant Dragon, his power and Dragon Pressure were beyond question.

Among Lu Fan’s Pet Dragons, aside from the fully grown Devouring Dragon King, which could be considered his equal in terms of power, not a single other Pet Dragon could truly compare to the Flame Dragon in terms of strength.

The Two Headed Dragon let out a low growl, reminding the Flame Dragon to rein in his temperament.

On this island, there were still people such as Ye Wuxian. They were all Lu Fan’s friends, and if the Flame Dragon’s Dragon Pressure were to frighten them, that would be a serious mistake on his part.

The Flame Dragon came back to his senses and realised his behaviour was inappropriate. He hastily drew in his Dragon Pressure and apologised to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan waved a hand, unconcerned. “Never mind. The hatred of seeing one’s homeland destroyed, who among us could truly make peace with that? Being able to let you take revenge with your own hands is also one of my reasons for bringing you along.”

As he said this, Lu Fan’s expression grew somewhat more serious. “But, I must still remind the two of you that once we reach the Dragon Domain, everything must be done according to what I say. If our opponent is too powerful, I naturally will not have you remain there and sacrifice yourselves in vain. When that time comes, Teacher Ouyang will transfer us all away from there. I hope you will be able to follow my command and withdraw from the battlefield, rather than needlessly sacrificing yourselves.”

The Flame Dragon heard this and immediately bristled, saying, “Withdraw? Unless I can kill that wretched Desolate Ancient God, I am not going anywhere! Having finally found the culprit, when that moment comes, it shall be either its death or mine!”

Lu Fan heard this and immediately drew a stern expression. “No! That will not do!”
